Narrative:
We were cleared for the visual approach to runway 18R and told to switch to tower. After that, we encroached onto the east side of the airport and received a TCASII TA and immediately corrected back onto the runway 18R final. We had mistakenly idented the east runways as the west side due to haziness. ATC did not seem to notice our deviation.
